If Your Daughter Has Stopped Talking to You…

It’s easy to believe that silence means rejection, but in most cases, it means hurt, confusion, and protective walls, not a lack of love.

Drawing from her personal story and over a decade of clinical experience, Thais explains why children disconnect, what not to do when trying to reconnect, and how small, consistent actions can begin rebuilding emotional safety.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:
Why silence doesn’t mean your relationship is doomed
How learned helplessness keeps reconnection stuck
The hidden danger of over explaining your side
How to reconnect through your child’s emotional needs
Why processing your own hurt is essential
How accountability rebuilds trust over time

If you’re caught in cycles of emotional pain, overthinking, or fear of getting close again, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and how to start healing at the root.

 

Episode Summary

Breakups don’t just hurt emotionally; they can activate deep attachment wounds that keep us stuck in fear, rumination, and self-doubt.

If you’re dealing with someone who acts emotionally involved but pulls away when commitment comes up, or if you resonate with the dismissive avoidant attachment style, this episode will bring clarity, relief, and a clear path forward.

 

Episode Summary

Dismissive Avoidants often desire connection, but without the vulnerability and commitment that deeper relationships require. In this episode, Thais Gibson breaks down the core subconscious reasons behind this pattern, including unmet emotional modeling in childhood, fear of vulnerability, difficulty resolving conflict, and feeling misunderstood or criticized in relationships.

You’ll learn how these attachment wounds form, why they lead to commitment resistance, and how healing your attachment style can help you build emotionally secure, fulfilling relationships, without losing your sense of independence.

 

Key Takeaways

What defines the dismissive avoidant attachment style

How unmodeled emotional connection impacts adult relationships

Why vulnerability can feel unsafe or threatening

How unresolved conflict fuels fear of commitment

Why dismissive avoidants often feel misunderstood or criticized

How attachment-style healing creates safety, clarity, and deeper intimacy

If you have a Fearful Avoidant attachment style, you may feel emotionally numb, unsure of your needs, or like you’ve lost touch with who you truly are. This disconnection often develops as a survival response but it can be healed.

In this episode, Thais Gibson walks you through how to recover long-lost self-connection and rebuild a secure relationship with yourself, so you can stop living on autopilot and start making aligned, grounded decisions in your life and relationships.

Episode Summary
This episode explores why Fearful Avoidant individuals often struggle with self-connection and how early environments, chronic stress, people-pleasing, and emotional suppression can lead to disconnection from needs, boundaries, and identity.

You’ll learn the three core pillars of self-connection and how each one plays a vital role in healing attachment wounds:

Learning who you truly are
Reconnecting with your body and emotional signals
Developing a strong identity without rigid attachment
These tools help you feel safer within yourself, reduce emotional numbing, and create clarity in relationships, career choices, and personal direction.

Key Takeaways
Why living on autopilot and chronic people-pleasing weaken self-connection
How emotional numbing and escapism block clarity around needs and boundaries
Introspection: learning your needs, values, boundaries, and what lights you up
Embodiment: using body awareness to access emotions and regulate the nervous system
Identity: building a strong sense of self without becoming rigid or over-attached
How reconnecting with yourself supports long-term healing for fearful avoidant attachment

In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Thais Gibson shares her long and complex physical health journey from chronic illness in childhood to discovering root causes as an adult through functional and integrative approaches.

This conversation is not about giving medical advice. It’s about sharing lived experience, connecting the dots between nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and physical well-being, and helping others feel less alone if they’ve been struggling with unexplained or chronic symptoms.

Thais opens up about her childhood health challenges, early adulthood, and the physical symptoms that persisted even after deep emotional and psychological healing. She shares what led her to explore functional medicine, advanced testing, and lifestyle changes and how understanding her body transformed her quality of life.

This episode explores:
Growing up with chronic illness and allergies
How early life experiences shaped resilience and self-awareness
The role of functional medicine and root-cause testing
Discoveries around mold exposure, inflammation, and nervous system health
What ultimately supported her healing journey
This is a story about listening to your body, advocating for yourself, and integrating mind–body healing.

 

Key Takeaways
Chronic symptoms can become “normal” when they start early in life
Emotional healing and physical healing often need to happen together
Functional and root-cause approaches helped uncover missing pieces
Regulation, awareness, and self-support play a role in overall well-being
You’re not broken, sometimes your body is asking to be understood
